Visual Development + Background Paint
Eternalife
Eternalife is Emerging Artists Animationās first short film, completed in summer 2025. I acted as art director, character designer, and background painter, as well as doing the final compositing, vhx, and some sound design elements. Eternalife was been selected for screening at CTN Expo 2025.
The Usual āļø
Created for Creator Societyās 2024 Creator Jam, this 3 minute short follows a beleaguered coffee drinker through time as she struggles to get her daily dose of caffeine. I acted as art director as well as handling compositing and special fx. The Usual has been selected for several film festivals, and won best sci-fi short at the Milan Indie Film Festival.
Gala Invite Paintings + Layout
So happy with how this project with Friends of Wissahickon turned out! They asked me to create an invite and other supporting materials for their 100 Years of Wild gala event. I pitched the idea of painting backgrounds inspired by vintage postcards of the park, and we were off to the races.
Working from the navy and sage green color palette of a save-the-date that had already gone out, I created three digital paintings and a design for the invite gatefold.
